The world's most famous love story told by one of Australia's most respected authors Ages: 10+
this is the well-known story of Juliet Capulet and her love for Romeo. It also the story about the increasing helplessness Juliet feels as she realises that unlike young men her age, her life will effectively be determined and controlled by others, who see her having an arranged marriage of alliance and becoming a breeder of sons. I am Juliet closely follows the well-known and loved plot of the play, but we also see the point of view of Rob, the thirteen-year-old boy who is the first to play the role of Juliet on the Elizabethan stage. Like many young people today, he too is overwhelmed by 'all those words' that Shakespeare wrote. But Rob realises that the story of love and tragedy is a somewhat simple one and the words are there for their extraordinary beauty and meaning. He will be Juliet and let the power of the words sing - as they still do today.

I just love jackie french and this book was no exception to the masterpieces of her other novels. Great plot twists, an amazing new spin and a captivating plot line. Just as good as the other in the series; 'ophelia' which we did at school.

Australian author, Jackie French tells of one of the world's most famous love stories from Juliet Capulet’s point of view. It’s an interesting reflection on the times that Shakespeare wrote ‘Romeo & Juliet’ and Juliet’s realization that her life will be determined by others with an arranged marriage.
As always French writes beautiful historical fiction. She incorporates an angle of a young boy, Rob who plays the role of Juliet when the play first opens. The two stories create a great companion to anyone reading this timeless play of love and tragedy. Highly recommended for readers 10+
